Description:

In this clarifying overview of the biblical teaching on the doctrine of perseverance, Schreiner guides believers to carefully consider the overall message and purpose of Scripture's warnings and exhortations to persevere.

Synopsis:

This important work on the doctrine of perseverance examinesScripture's warnings and exhortations and their purpose insalvation.Scripture's commands to persevere, and warnings of theconsequences if we fail, have been met with apathy by some, and ledothers to doubt the state of their salvation. The fearful andeternal nature of these issues warrants careful examination of whatthe Bible says about perseverance. Thomas Schreiner once againtackles this difficult topic in Run to Win the Prize.Clarifying misunderstandings stemming from his more detailedtreatment in The Race Set Before Us (IVP 2001), Schreinerdraws together an illuminating overview of biblical teaching on thedoctrine of perseverance.Schreiner details how God directs the collective warnings andexhortations of Scripture toward believers as a means ofpreservation. We are to think of the call to persevere in light ofthe initial call to faith, both agents by which God leads us tofinal salvation. Those looking for a general treatment of thedoctrine of perseverance will profit from the challenges andassurances in Run to Win the Prize.
